FAQs
01.
Q: Does my performer need to practice at home? If so, how much?
A: We strongly suggest that each group member practices or reviews their parts between classes. Some weeks, performers will be specifically asked to review while other weeks, very little is required. Our first goal is to have fun while learning.
02.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Registrations made more than 15 days prior to the start of a term may be transferred in full to another class within the same academic year or refunded up to 50% of the total registration less the processing fees. Registration cancellations less than 15 days prior to the start of the term are only eligible for a credit within the same academic year.
03.
Q: Do you offer trial classes?
A: Yes! We are happy to invite a new performer into (1) class prior to registering with us. Interested parties should send us an email to arrange this at sopacottawa@gmail.com
04.
Q: Will my performer be photographed or recorded?
A: Yes! A media release document is included in our registration form. We often capture pictures and videos of students as they are learning for their own practicing purposes. We keep record of performances via recording as well.
05.
Q: What do we do incase of illness?
A: Students showing any sign of being unwell (cough, fever, runny nose, sore throat etc) should refrain from coming to class. We do our best to ZOOM students in where possible! Please send us an email with as much notice as you can so we can include all our performers safely.
